CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Enterprise and mid-market teams managing multi-cloud infrastructure should adopt ShadowPlex Cloud Security if detecting lateral movement and privilege escalation in cloud identities is your weakest detection layer. Agentless deployment via native cloud APIs means you're live in AWS, Azure, and GCP without touching workloads, and the honeytoken approach catches attackers during reconnaissance when they're still gathering credentials rather than after breach. This tool prioritizes detection and intent capture over response automation, so it's less valuable for teams already confident in their cloud identity monitoring or those expecting the platform to enforce remediation workflows.
Security teams running resource-constrained detection labs or early-stage threat intelligence operations should deploy Galah for its speed; an LLM-powered honeypot that generates contextually plausible fake web services in minutes beats manual decoy setup by weeks. Free pricing and 638 GitHub stars indicate active community validation of the approach. Skip this if you need honeypots mimicking obscure legacy protocols or closed-source applications; Galah's strength is HTTP-layer deception, not breadth of application emulation.
